Ned Stark begins to understand why John Arryn was murdered…..after beginning to follow the trail of evidence to a young man who looks disturbingly like King Robert. Conveniently for his enemies, the one man who was closest to John Arryn dies during a joust.

Jon Snow’s new friend, Sam, and we learn to like him even though he is a coward, just as Jon does.

Daenerys grows as her brother, Viserys, exposes just how much of a fool he is. She finally realizes that he cannot be the future king of the seven kingdoms because he is fundamentally flawed as a person. She also begins to realize that she is as much a dragon as he is.

Lady Catelyn captures a bewildered Tyrion. If you haven’t enjoyed Tyrion yet, it is impossible not to love him when he later faces her sister and demands justice. It is a scene that should NOT be missed. But I’m getting ahead of myself…..keep watching with me.
